It is not clear to me whether you have valid claims but if so, the likely most important thing you can do right now is to document everything as fully as you can.

If she lived in Pima County and then just happened to die while visiting Maricopa County then you could file in Pima County. But if she lived in Maricopa County when she died then you do need to file in... View More
I sold my home. Three weeks later I received a letter from the title company saying that a lien has been placed on my former home from a credit card debt. They also stated I was responsible for taking care of it. I was unaware of the impending lien. From a moral standpoint I know I should pay it... View More

The debt had to become a judgment before it could be used as a lien. Remember getting sued? You may be able to set aside the judgment, but you would still be possibly owing the debt. Apparently noone recorded the deed you signed until after the lien attached. If you signed a warranty deed,... View More
